Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Peter Debruge, Miami Herald: The movie is a clumsy and uninspired mess. Read more
Allison Benedikt, Chicago Tribune: Remember Office Space, with Jennifer Aniston as a flair-wearing Chotchkie's waitress? See, writer/director Mike Judge got his chain-dining establishment just right. Read more
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times: McKittrick's relentless vulgarity is wearing, but he's a strong visualist who keeps his shoestring-budget film looking fresh. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: You can do gross-out stuff and be funny, but it has to have some decent dialogue and characters. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: It makes you never want to go to a movie again. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: As someone who spent time in a steakhouse kitchen, I can say Waiting . . . comes close to reality, especially with its cast of characters. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Teenage boys will be in heaven. All others: Check, please. Read more
Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times: The cast sells the occasional one-liner, but a Reynolds smirk can take you only so far. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: The cast compensates by serving steaming-hot plates of gonzo enthusiasm, kicking things along with unhinged gusto even when Waiting stalls in anecdotal nothingness. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: This gross-out comedy takes place almost entirely inside a generic chain restaurant, and what happens inside the kitchen isn't pretty. Read more
Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly: The rest of the laughs (when they eventually arrive; the first half hour is kinda bleak) are mostly scraped from the pit of your roiling stomach. Read more
Tina-Louise Reid, L.A. Weekly: If side-splitting laughter is what you crave, Waiting... will leave you hungry for a slice of American Pie. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: I don't doubt that McKittrick, who understands how to shape characters, will have a movie career. It's only sad he had to sell out before making it to the starting gate. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: If you're planning to go out for dinner and a movie, Waiting... should be your last choice at the multiplex. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Rob McKittrick's sour debut is such an obvious candidate for the direct-to-video shelf, someone will surely be demoted for sending it into actual theaters. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Waiting makes us wait too long between laughs. But its sly awareness of the people and the work might transport you back to that Pizza Hut, Olive Garden or T.G.I. Friday's in your own "Order up!" past. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The characters in Waiting... seem like types, not people. What they do and say isn't funny because someone real doesn't seem to be doing or saying it. Read more
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: This movie's two goals are to be over-the-top funny and remind audience members what it feels like to be in your early 20s without a plan, and it's a complete success in both areas. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: An ugly piece of work. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: A puerile excuse for humour, perfectly described by one of the characters, in a rare moment of insight, as 'an exercise in retarded homophobic futility.' Read more
Darren Reidy, Village Voice: The funniest scene is also the saddest: The kitchen crew, having cleaned up, watching the clock like New Year's, goes nuts when a couple is seated a minute before closing. This is pain. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: It's lewd, crude and socially irredeemable. Read more
